Started with protests in Daraa in 2011, the Syrian conflict rapidly turned into a war with a number of foreign powers supporting various militant groups (including al-Qaeda-linked) against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Since then, the country has been a point of instability in the Middle East.Russia began a military intervention in Syria in 2015 after an official request by the Syrian government for military help against militant groups.This allowed the Syrian government to survive and to regain initiative in a battle against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda), ISIS and other militant groups.

Reminds me of Snoopy (the dog of Charlie Brown) in “Snoopy and the Red Baron”, bravely flying his Sopwith Camel (i.e. msitting on top of his doghouse) riddled with bullets, angrily raising his fist ih the air and shouting “Curse you, Red Baron!”

Besides the fact that ISIS is phoney and nothing more than American dick heads???

Wow, that was quick, go SAA. They’ll have that pocket gone in no time. Then back to crushing HTS scum in Idlib.

>SAA eating to much hotpocket, this may make them sick.

What happened to the HTS controlled area? Could we have some clarification on the larger situation!?

@Inc2Get

Exactly my thoughts. However, I think it is included in the Isis area as HTS retreated. This means that the entire pocket is only 20% left. This is what’s left of Isis in the pocket.

The graphic below shows the situation on 18Jan18, just before the SAA pincer cut off the Hama pocket.

HTS had most of what would become the pocket a few days before, but probably saw the writing on the wall and started fleeing to headchopperistan to the northwest while they still could. At the same time, ISIS was also pushing from the bottom of the pocket to the north. That was also pressuring the fleeing HTS who probably were more interested in escaping that ‘defending’ their former turf against ISIS.

Not sure what ISIS was thinking before then, but the just stopped moving north after the pocket was cut off. The HTS ‘commanders’ were supposedly killed in an airstrike about then. I’m wondering how many HTS were even left in the north, but they were now leaderless, unsupplied and had no hope of defending themselves against either ISIS from the south, or SAA artillery/armor from the northwest.

Maps of Jan 30th still showed the northeast side of the pocket as HTS-held. On the 31st, most maps just showed the entire pocket as ISIS held although no HTS/ISIS fighting was noted. The size/shape of the pocket remained the same. HTS either fled, joined ISIS or were annihilated by them, but were no longer recognized as a separate fighting force within the pocket. They didn’t tweet their demise, so it’s anyone’s guess.

The SAA was busy chewing through head-choppers north and west of Abu ad Duhur Airbase during this time, paying little attention to the pocket. Yesterday, Feb. 6th, they started hammering it from both the north and south – HTS didn’t exist in it anymore. ISIS head-choppers left there are either fighting to the death (and poorly at that, being out of Captagon) or shaving and fleeing if they can. I don’t think SAA is taking any prisoners, so the head-choppers stuck inside will not exist soon. Couple of days max by the looks of it.
